Crazy....the 787b livery is a good gesture. Would like to see some 17's and 18's on this vert...that would look cool. Staggered and stretched ftw.

no didnt do it for tony .. plus i change my car paint every two weeks the car is changin again this weekend to black metal flake .. i like the starion wheels i have on it now if finally have them all around and the offset and sizing is perfect for 7's w/ camber in the front alot of it. and a stretched tire. and the 240sx parts on the car are the coilovers, bolt in cage, shift **** rethreaded lol electric fans off my last 240 altima's thats it i think

A bolt in 240sx cage just bolted into your FC? Impressive.

240 coilovers? Need more info or ban.

I like how you ran out of paint on the front bumper (from what it looks like).

correct^^^^ walmart only had 6 cans i needed 7 lol.. i have some pics from today drifting. and ill get some up as soon as it gets new paint.. mini thread poll time when u post up include ur color pref. white body w/ black mirrors apilar etc , all white, all black. thanks

ill get pics soon of the 240sx coilovers .. no not sleeves their coils .. esentially i have custom camber plates for the front so i redrilled the topmounts for it the coilovers are on max raise to get the front height i have so not much just perfect though for me. the lower mounts you have to make a custom bracket like i did or mess w/ ur knuckle or something else my way was 6 dollars .. the rears are super easy . just swith the topmounts from your stock fc shocks to ur 240 coils or get some pillowballs w/e.. the strut types between fc's and 240's are the same. so save yourself from buying 800 dollar blown ebay coils that pop up from japan once a month and get some 500 dollar flta2's for a 240 .. lol also w/ the 240 coil you get 2deg more camber in the front because of where it sits on the knuckle etc.. look at my front fitment for pics ..

alright alright .. i should patent this idea cuz all of u are gonna save like 500 bucks lol j/k also not to start a f/s or trade thread but if you know anyone in the midatlantic area that might want this car im lookin to trade for a 240sx thanks.. this was the second rx7 ive owned but for some reason i still like 240's just a smidge better for drifting but i like rx7's for grip and i cant own two cars being in college ive tried it doesnt work.

edit.. btw this is what it looks like to drift w/ dtss still on n/a power stock angle
